The Black Rose Budding Blinder is part of the Black Rose collection from Doc Johnson. The line is designed to make light bondage sensuous and elegant. I have five pieces from the line and adore the whole set. It was not made with extreme bondage enthusiasts in mind. The set is playful and sexy. It's perfect for beginners to bondage play or for those who just like light play. It's perfect for the shenanigans my husband dreams up. We often add some light bondage. These pieces work well for the bondage but also add nice visuals. I like to use them with lingerie for a classy look.

The blind is black and is made from a faux leather. It's a medium thickness with some padding included. The stitching is neat without any frayed ends. The blindfold is confortable to wear. I thought it might not work so well due to the sash ties. I was pleasantly surprised. The sashes tie tight enough for the blinkfold to be effective. It can be positioned so that no light comes in. It sits comfortably over my eyes and nose. It doesn't itch or cause me to sweat. The blindfold is great for heightening my senses due to sight deprivation. It is great when use with either the Silky Surrender ties or the Rosie Restraints.

The blindfold features the signature black rose on one of the sides. The bud is a barely opened rose bud. I guess the black makes it seem edgy and dark. Yeah, not really. It's just a nice touch to the collection. It is attached attached securely and adds a bit of class to the blindfold.

The silky purple ties are the same material as in the Rosie Restraints and Silky Surrender. It has a silky luxurious feeling. The ties are 2 inches wide and 23 inches long. At each end they are cut at a diagonal and sewed securely. The sashes are long enough to be used on everyone no matter the size of the head. I found it to be comfortable when tied around my head. The ends of the tie have never gotten in the way either. They can be ironed when needed. If it gets soiled it can be hand washed.




The budding blinder can be used alone or with other parts of the Black Rose Collection. Below is pictured Silky Surrender, Rosie Restraints, Forbidden Flower Mouth Bit, Whipping Willow, and the Budding Blinder. We like to mix and match when we use them.
